Children’s Visits
One weekend, a local elementary school visited the preserve. The children’s eyes lit up when they saw Leo. What kind of animal is that, teacher? He’s so big! Mark explained to the children. Mark explained to the children, “His name is Leo. I rescued him when he was a baby,” one boy asked. Isn’t Leo scary? Mark smiled. Leo is a very gentle boy,” he said, looking at the children, his eyes peaceful. Seeing this made Mark feel warm.
